This should remain in DEBUG level.

Seems this structure will never be used due to the #if 0.

What is the purpose of this SW_EMULATION?

Is this better to have the rte_compiler_barrier() instead of the rte_io_wmb()?

My bad, that was just for debugging purpose while I was testing the code. Will
change it back when I send out a patchset for integration.

This code was just for SW emulation to emulate the result of 16B CQE size. I
should've trimmed all the debugging/testing code before I sent out this RFC.

That's to emulate packet Rx without getting device involved. And it was to
optimize cycle budget from pure SW perspective. This will get removed in a
formal patch. Please understand that it is RFC code.

You are right. I'm also aware of Shahaf's patch - "net/mlx5: replace memory
barrier type". This code block was to include Shahaf's patch for testing and
I've already included Shahaf's final patch. As his patch's been merged, will
remove this hunk in a formal patch.

Right. That was my mistake in rushing to meet the submission deadline. Sorry for
the mess. Now, I've completed porting the commented part and I'll be able to
send out a formal patchset soon.

Yes, the main reason for this inline assembly was due to lack of load
instrinsics - vld1q_u64_x3() and inefficiency of a shuffle intrinsic
vqtbl3q_u8() in the gcc-5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4.

I'm quite sure that using vld1q_u64_x3() is more efficient than three
vld1q_u64() although vld1q_u64_x3() internally executes 3 micro-ops in NEON.
This is used to load the first three 16byte blocks from a CQE.

And in vqtbl3q_u8() of arm_neon.h, it uses a redundant load instruction to load
data into 3 consecutive SIMD registers. This caused hotspots in perf-annotate.

> Do you already have some good feedbacks in performance?
Currently, I'm seeing 45% improvement comparing with regular rx/tx_burst in case
of single core. Also, when I firstly wrote the code, I could get ~20% benefit by
removing the hottest instructions with inline assembly.

I also concerned about difficulty for maintenance and code reading, so I tried
to minimize the assembly part as much as possible and it is limited to
fetching/manipulating CQE data on Rx, which is most critical in performance.

Thanks,
Yongseok
